Kenpachi is a tall, muscular Shinigami
with a wild and aggressive appearance, which fits his personality. He
has a long face with pronounced cheekbones, and pronounced, hairless
eyebrow ridges. He has green eyes and long, stringy black hair.A noticeable trait in his appearance is a long, thin scar running down
the left side of his face, which he gained before finding his future
lieutenant, Yachiru Kusajishi; it is later revealed to have been
inflicted by Retsu Unohana.
He is one of the tallest Shinigami, towering at 202 centimeters
(approximately 6 feet 6 inches), making him almost double the height of
his lieutenant.
He wears a sleeveless captain's haori (which belonged to the previous captain and was taken after his defeat), which has a ragged look to it. He styles his hair into stiff strands during his baths, attaching small bells at its tips, and wears a special eyepatch
on his right eye. During his first fight with Ichigo, the eyepatch is
more elegant, having a gold-like lining and a chain as one of the
straps. It later becomes a normal black eyepatch with normal straps.
17 months after Aizen's defeat, Kenpachi's hair has grown out
past his shoulders. He no longer has the bells in his hair. His
eyepatch's design has changed again, as it is now, but a single piece
covering his right eye.The eyepatch is black with a grey outline.
